My dad used to have a W211 E55 AMG. It was factory rated (in the US) at 469 horsepower, widely recognized to be complete fiction. Most E55s of that era dyno’d between 410-430 wheel horsepower.… which translates to just over 500 crank horsepower. I did drive it a few times. And it was hysterically quick for a 4,200 lb sedan.

Desperately. It’s way too hot, haven’t had anything sweet today, water just isn’t doing it. Too bad it’s 22:25 so the only stores in this city that are open are 12km away and the other is on the other side of the centre which means I’d have to walk past ~26 bars and nightclubs and today it’s graduation day. Even in my apartment complex of 99% old ladies there have been 2 drunk fights of graduating teenagers.

True, especially in the summer when there is all the scents from all the blooming trees and flowers, completely quiet and not a single person outside and kind of a cool and damp breeze in the air…lovely, just lovely.
